Are you spreading the dose of the Metacam out? I would assume that there
hasn't been much research done on how ferrets metabolize NSAIDS and if we should
give it less then everyday. (like in cats).
I have been giving it once a day post-op, since generally the course of
treatment is short (three to five days at most). With food, of course, so the
chance of GI upset is lower.
